INTRODUCTION 


As part of the Order dismissing this lawsuit, Judge Paul 
Breckenridge ordered that an executed duplicate original of the 
parties' "Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement Agreement" 
("Agreement") be filed with the Court. Since the parties have not 
done so, they should now be ordered to do so. However, because of 
the nature of that Agreement, it should not be filed under seal. 

To do so would shield unconscionable conduct by the CHURCH OF 
SCIENTOLOGY and its attempt to utilize court processes for the 
purpose of obstructing justice. 


I. 

THE COURT ORDERED THAT THE MUTUAL RELEASE OF 

ALL CLAIMS AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BE FILED. 

HOWEVER. THE PARTIES DID NOT OBEY THIS ORDER . 


On December 11, 1986, Judge Paul Breckenridge received 
numerous stipulations and proposed orders from counsel regarding a 
settlement of the action. One of those documents was captioned 
"Joint Stipulation of Dismissal." It stated: 

"On December 6, 1986, the parties entered into 
a 'Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement 
Agreement.' An executed copy of same 
Agreement has been filed herein under seal and 

shall be kept under seal by the Clerk of this 
Court. This Court shall retain jurisdiction, 
and may reopen this case at any time for the

purpose of enforcing said Agreement." 

(Emphasis added.) 

A copy of that Stipulation is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

During the oral proceedings related to the settlement, 
although the Court questioned counsel about the several 
stipulations presented, including the Stipulation for Return of 
Sealed Materials, there was no reference to the terms of the 
Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement Agreement (the 
Settlement). See Exhibit B, Transcript of Proceedings, 

December 11, 1986. The Order Dismissing Action with Prejudice 
states that the Settlement was to be maintained under seal by the 
Court. See Exhibit C. The Minute Order of the same date lists 
the various stipulations and orders filed on December 11, 1986. 
The Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement Agreement was not 
listed. See Exhibit D, Minute Order of December 11, 1986. 

On December 12, the Court entered an order, attached hereto 
as Exhibit E, observing that 

"The Court finds that the document entitled 
' Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement 

Agreement ' referred to in the Joint 
Stipulation of Dismissal as and [sic] executed 
copy and referred to in the Order Dismissing 
Action as an executed duplicate original, has 
not been filed with the court.'" (Emphasis 
added.)

[This raises the question of whether, when he signed the 


Order Dismissing Action with Prejudice, Judge Breckenridge 
actually reviewed that document or, rather, relied on counsel's 
representations, as a matter of routine, that there was an 
agreement. The reason for questioning whether Judge Breckenridge 
actually reviewed that agreement will become apparent, infra .1 

On December 17, 1986, the court prepared a minute order 
noting a second conversation with counsel regarding the fact that 
the "Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement Agreement" had 
still not been filed but that, "in view of the oral agreement of 
counsel, the 'Order for Return of Exhibits and Sealed Documents' 
is to be complied with". See Exhibit "F", Minute Order of 
December 17, 1986. A review of the Register of Actions in this 
case shows no filing of any Mutual Release and Settlement 
Agreement on any date subsequent to December 11, 1986. See 
Certified Copy of Register of Actions attached hereto as 
Exhibit "G". 

On or about December 23, 1988, a Response to Petition for 
Writ of Supersedeas was filed with the Court of Appeal in support 
of this Court's orders of November 9 and 30, 1988 in this matter. 
Included among the exhibits thereto was (1) a redacted copy of a 
"Mutual Release Agreement", with an appendix, between the CHURCH 
OF SCIENTOLOGY and a person whose name was deleted which was 
executed on December 5, 1986, on behalf of the Church; (2) a 
document captioned "Settlement Agreement" which identifies 
settlement amounts for a number of individuals in litigation

against the CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, including Gerald Armstrong and 
an individual named William Franks. It includes Mr. Armstrong as 
one of twelve clients participating in a collective settlement 
with the Church concluded on December 11, 1986. It contains Mr. 
Armstrong's signature and shows a settlement in the amount of 
$800,000 for Mr. Armstrong and $40,000 for Mr. Frank (whereas the 
Mutual Release Agreement mentions no money consideration but 
merely purports to effect settlement for silence and a mutual 
release of claims). All those documents are attached hereto as 
Exhibit "H". 

On or about December 31, 1988, Mr. Armstrong's attorney, Mr. 
Michael Flynn, filed a document with the Court of Appeal 
denominated a Response of Gerald Armstrong. Although hedging as 
to whether the items comprising Exhibit "H" are what they purport 
to be, he nevertheless asked the Court that they be "immediately 
sealed as they are confidential settlement documents not intended 
to be made public". See Exhibit "I", Response of Gerald Armstrong 
to Opposition Filed by Real Party Interest. Attached as an 
Exhibit thereto is a declaration of William Franks which appears 
to be an admission that those documents were copies of his Mutual 
Release with the Church and a Settlement Agreement with Mr. Flynn. 
While these statements are tantamount to an admission that the 
Mutual Release and the Settlement Agreement are precisely what 
they purport to be, (that is, the release signed by each of Mr. 
Flynn's clients including Mr. Armstrong, pursuant to the 
collective settlement with the Church as reflected in the 
Settlement Agreement), Mr. Flynn also acknowledged that, contrary

to Judge Breckenridge's order, they were never filed with the 
Court . 

On January 4, 1989, the Court of Appeal denied Mr. Flynn's 
request that the documents be sealed since they were "not part of 
the case file in the underlying action." The Court further 
stated, "The request is denied for failure to demonstrate 
entitlement." See Order, attached hereto as Exhibit "J". 

Pursuant to the Declaration of Toby L. Plevin, attached 
hereto, counsel has diligently searched the court files containing 
documents from all of the 1986 to the present. No Mutual Release 
of All Claims and Settlement Agreement was found. 

Based on the foregoing, it cannot be reasonably disputed that 
the Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement Agreement was not 
filed as stipulated and ordered. Indeed, given the content of the 
Mutual Release Agreement as set forth in section II, infra, and in 
light of the misrepresentations to the court that it had been 
filed prior to the December 11, 1986 hearing regarding the 
Settlement, that failure must be deemed a deliberate effort to 
prevent the court from knowing the unconscionable, unenforceable 
terms it contains.

II 


BECAUSE THE MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT CONTAINS 


TERMS THAT ARE VIOLATIVE OF ! 

PUBLIC POLICY 

AND 

OBSTRUCT JUSTICE. 

THE 

MUTUAL 

RELEASE 

MUST 

BE 

ORDERED FILED BUT 

NOT 

SEALED 

SO THAT 

REMEDIAL 


ACTION CAN BE TAKEN. 

A. The Settlement Agreement Contains Terms 
Which Violate Public Policy And Are An 

Obstruction Of Justice. 

The thrust of the Mutual Release is that the party adverse to 
the CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY agrees, under penalty of a $50,000 
liquidated damages claim, to refuse to talk to anyone about 
anything about SCIENTOLOGY unless compelled to by lawful subpoena 
but also requires that the party evade service of process of any 
such subpoena. See paragraphs 6G, 6H and 8 of the Mutual Release. 
It is self evident that such purchased silence has obstructed all 
other litigants adverse to SCIENTOLOGY, including Mr. Corydon. No 
doubt this impact will continue until the numerous people who feel 
burdened by that part of the agreement are released from that 
burden. (See Declaration of Bent Corydon attached hereto.) 

In sum, the agreement is a violation of public policy and 
must be brought to light to be countered because of its continuing 
impact as an obstruction of justice. California case law requires 
this result.

On point is Mary R. v. B & R Corporation (1983) 196 Cal.Rptr. 
781, 149 Cal.App.3d 308, where a physician, accused of molesting a 
minor, settled with a stipulation that the minor would not discuss 
the events giving rise to the lawsuit. This settlement became an 
order of the court, and when the Attorney General's office moved 
to set it aside, the motion was denied. On appeal, the agreement 
was held to be against public policy, wrongfully placing a party 
under fear, and thereby prohibiting the Board of Medical Quality 
Assurance (BMQA) from discovering facts. Mary R. approved Bianco 
v. Superior Court . 265 Cal.App.2d 126 statement that "[a] law 
established for public reason cannot be waived or circumvented by 
a private act or agreement .” The court in Mary R. further stated 
the agreement was a "ploy obviously designed by the physician to 
aid him to avoid the professional regulation. . . " and an 
"agreement to conceal judicial proceedings and obstruct justice." 

While in Mary R. the BMQA had a statutory obligation to 
regulate the practice of medicine and must investigate misconduct, 
in civil lawsuits, brought under the color of law, a litigant has 
the right to "investigate" charges made against him and to 
discover facts in his favor by interviewing witnesses. For an 
adverse litigant to pay a witness not to cooperate is clearly an 
obstruction of justice. 

In Tappan v. Albany Brewing Company . 80 Cal. 570, the court 
invalidated a settlement agreement, stating:

"It was contended by the Respondent that this 
was nothing more than a payment of a sum of 
money by way of a compromise of litigation, 
and that such contracts have been upheld. We 
do not so construe the agreement. It was a 
promise to pay a consideration for the 
concealment of a fact from the court and the 

parties material to the rights of said 

parties . and which it was her duty to make 
known. Such a contract was against public 
policy . . . ". (Emphasis added.) 

In Maryland C. Co. v. Fidelity & Cas. Co. of N.Y. , 71 
Cal.App. 492, the court noted the duty to refuse to enforce an 
illegal contract or one against public policy. The court approved 
language of Eggleston v. Pantages . 103 Wash. 458: 

"After the papers had been served a contract 
was made between the parties whereby, in 
consideration to make a promise to pay a 
certain sum of money the Plaintiff agreed to 
withhold the complaint from the files and give 
no information to anyone concerning the same 
for the commencement of the suit, thereby 
preventing those interested from knowing the 
true state of facts. Here was a clear attempt 
to conceal judicial proceedings and to 
obstruct justice for the purpose of wronging

others interested. Agreements of this 
character are clearly against public policy." 


In addition to preventing access to important information via 
buying the silence of witnesses, not only does the Church seek to 
keep this file sealed because of the purported privacy interests, 
but they have made it a practice to refuse to settle cases unless 

agreements are entered into sealing Court files . See Reporter's 
Transcript of Proceedings, December 11, 1986, attached hereto as 
Exhibit "B", p. 6, lines 25-28 where counsel for the Church 
stated: 


"That is the procedure that the Church has 
insisted on and all courts have agreed to in 
various other Scientology cases involving 
Mr.Flynn and others which have settled:" 

Accordingly, the purported privacy interest in this Court 
file is laid bare as a pretext, and furthermore, other adverse 
parties, such as Mr. Corydon herein have had to suffer needless 
litigation regarding issues which have already been litigated. 

For example, collateral estoppel bars Plaintiffs from denying that 
(1) Scientology has pursued an active fair game policy against its 
enemies, or (2) that it routinely violates the priest-penitent 
confidentiality of records of "troublemakers". (See Memorandum of 
Intended Decision, attached hereto as Exhibit "J", at p.7, line 26 
through p.8, lines 25.)

In fact, such agreements are not merely a violation of public 


policy, they may be considered criminal violations in light of 
Penal Code § 138. Penal Code § 138 makes it a felony to offer any 
form of bribe with understanding that person shall not attend a 
trial or other judicial proceedings. Since the persons with whom 
these agreements were made are prospective witnesses who are 
prohibited from being "amenable to subpoena", they violate § 138. 
Furthermore, when individuals are beyond subpoena power, a 
contract to not cooperate with an adverse litigant must be 
considered a violation of that provision as well. 

Alternatively, to the extent that a party to these agreements 
is only a potential witness to whom the statute may not apply per 
se . nevertheless, the statute establishes beyond a doubt that such 
potential interference with witnesses is an obstruction of justice 
in violation of public policy. 

B. The Fact That The Contracts To Keep Quiet 
Were Part Of Settlement Agreements Is Not 

Material. 


The Church is certain to complain, in opposition, both that 
filing the Agreement and/or filing it without a sealing order 
would be tantamount to voiding contractual provisions which were 
part of the consideration for which they settled. This argument 
is invalid for three reasons: (1) two parties cannot create a 
contract which will deny protection of the law to a third party; 
(2) the courts cannot enforce a provision against public policy

simply because failure to enforce it would leave one or more of 
the parties' unjustly enriched, (3) the court cannot be bound by 
the parties contract, especially an illegal contract. 

Furthermore, since it was falsely represented to the Court that 
the Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement Agreement had been 
filed with the Court, they cannot now be heard to complain that to 
do so would endanger anyone's interests. 

Clearly, it is an obstruction of justice to pay off witnesses 
not to cooperate voluntarily with adverse parties. That the 
payment came under a "settlement" does not change the effect or 
the intent. It is still the purchase of a witness's silence. 

This issue was addressed in Fong v. Miller . 105 Cal.App.2d 411, 

233 P.2d 606 (1951) wherein the court stated: 

"Appellants bitterly complain that the court's 
action leaves the Respondent unjustly 
enriched. The complaint is a familiar one, it 
is generally made by those who, deeming 
themselves wronged by their companions in 
illegal ventures, find themselves denied of 
any right to enforce their unlawful 
agreements. Their pleas have always been 
unavailing. This rule is not generally 
applied to secure justice between parties who 
have made an illegal contract, but from regard 
for a higher interest - that of the public,

whose welfare demand that certain transactions 
be discouraged.” Id. at 414-415. 

We assume the Church will further claim there is no 
obstruction because individuals (at least those who do not avoid 
valid process) can be deposed. However, Mr. CORYDON cannot get 
the same assistance by deposition that he can by cooperation 
especially when that person fears a lawsuit for $50,000 liquidated 
damages! Furthermore, depositions have certain rules and limited 
time, as well as considerable expense. Some of the parties to the 
settlement agreement individuals reside outside of California and 
their knowledge is quite extensive. Depositions cannot substitute 
for voluntary cooperation, such as appearance at trial, nor should 
such economic burden be placed on Mr. Corydon just to interview 
witnesses. Further, he has the right, when possible, to prepare 
his defense by private interviews of prospective witnesses, not 
just paid-for depositions that have his adversaries present. 
Finally, the party who does not avoid valid process is subject to 
the threat of a $50,000 liquidated damage claim!

C. Because Of Its Unclean Hands. The Church 

Is Not Entitled To The Protection That 

Sealing The Release Would Afford Them. 

The Inherent Powers Of The Court Permit 

It To Order The Filina Without Such 

Protection. 

The Church is sure to protest that if ordered to file the 
Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement that it must be filed 
under seal pursuant to Judge Breckenridge 1 s order. Their argument 
will be that the Agreement is confidential and that it is 
important to protect privacy interests pending the determination 
of their writ and/or appeal. However, as parties with unclean 
hands they must be denied such protection. 

In Stone v. Bach (1978) 80 Cal.App.3d 442, 145 Cal.Rptr. 599, 
the court stated: 


". . . it would be a flagrant abuse of the 
principles of equity and of the administration 
of justice to consider the demands of a party 
who becomes a voluntary actor before a court 
and seeks its aid while he stands in contempt 
of its legal orders and processes."

Further, the Stone court specifically noted that it was 
contemptuous to avoid process while seeking judicial 
consideration. Id. at 601. Here the Church has compelled the 
agreement of others to avoid process as the price of their peace. 

The case of Hull v. Superior Court of Los Angeles (1960) 54 
Cal.2d 139, 5 Cal.Rptr. 1, is also pertinent. In that case the 
California Supreme Court stated, "A court should have the right to 
deny its process and aid to one who stands in contempt or is in 
contempt of its orders. One who has willfully refused to comply 
with the mandate of a court cannot then compel that court to do 
its bidding." Id. at 5. 

Finally, an order to file the Mutual Release and Settlement 
Agreement but not seal it would, under the circumstances herein, 
be well the inherent powers of this court. C.C.P. § 128. 

C.C.P. § 128 states that every court shall have the power to 
control the conduct of persons connected with judicial proceedings 
and every matter pertaining thereto. In Rosato v. Superior Court 
of Fresno County . 124 Cal.Rptr. 427, 51 Cal.App.3d 206, the court 
noted C.C.P. § 128 "neither created nor circumscribed the powers 
thus defined", but is a statutory confirmation of the court's 
power which has been explicated and amplified by court decision. 
The courts have the power to insure the orderly administration of 
justice.

As stated in People v. Smith . 91 Cal.Rptr. 786, 13 Cal.App.3d 
897, the courts have inherent power to control judicial 
proceedings and to see to it that all persons, including parties, 
indulge in no act or conduct calculated to obstruct administration 
of justice. See also Cooper v. Superior Court in and for Los 
Angeles County . 10 Cal.Rptr. 842, 55 Cal.2d 291. 

In Venice Canals Resident Homeowners v. Superior Court . 140 
Cal.Rptr. 361, 72 Cal.App.3d 675, petitioners brought an action 
under C.C.P. § 1084.5 to review granting of building permits. As 
a condition of a stay order, the court ordered a bond to be 
posted. The petitioners appealed asserting the code section did 
not require bond or undertaking. The appellate court acknowledged 
the same but stated the authority existed under the inherent power 
of the trial court to exercise reasonable control over litigation 
and the power to achieve justice, stating: 

"The inherent power of all courts to control 
and prevent abuses in the use of their 
process. . . does not depend upon 
constitutional or legislative grant but is 
inherently necessary to the orderly and 
efficient exercise of jurisdiction." 

72 Cal.App.3d at 680.

CONCLUSION 


Given the foregoing, the following conclusions are necessary: 

(1) The parties did not file an executed duplicate original 
of the Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement 
Agreement as ordered; 

(2) Defendant/Cross-Complainant Gerald Armstrong did not 
file the documents because the very terms of his 
agreement prevented him from disclosing its terms; 

(3) The parties should be ordered to file the document 
entitled Mutual Release of All Claims and Settlement 
Agreement forthwith; and 

(4) The document(s) thus filed should not be sealed. 

BENT CORYDON urges the Court to make such findings and issue 
such orders in the interest of justice.

DECLARATION OF BENT CORYDON 


I, BENT CORYDON, declare as follows: 

1. To my information and belief, the Mutual Release 
Agreement, attached as part of Exhibit H to the motion, are true 
and correct copies of the releases that various individuals 
adverse to Scientology had to accept in order to settle with the 
Church. 


2. Prior to the execution of the same, I spoke freely 
concerning Scientology with Bill Franks, Nancy Dincalci, Kima 
Douglas, Laurel Sullivan, Edward Walters, Howard Schomer, Martin 
Samuels and Gerald Armstrong. 

3. Each of these individuals provided me with information 
that led to my forming opinions concerning the Plaintiffs stated 
in the media broadcasts over which I have been sued for 
defamation. Further, these individuals have advised me concerning 
illegal and harassing tactics of the Church of Scientology. 

4. Since the people identified above settled with the 
Church, they have not been available to confer with me to prepare 
affidavits for me or to testify regarding pertinent events. All 
of those people, except Laurel Sullivan have expressly told me 
that they can not even talk with me or my attorneys about 
Scientology. They each have potential value as witnesses in my

After lengthy negotiations. Your Honor, hntween 
my so If and Mr. Hortcberg on behrlf of the Church and 
Mary Sue Hubbard, we are extremely hanny to report to the 
court that the court will not have to try this case, this

THE COURT; How «abcut Miss Dragojevic? 

MS. DRAGOJEVIC: I think I will go along with it. 

MR. PETERSON; Maybe ve should identify ourselves for 


the record. 

THE COUP.T; Yes, probably a coed idea. 

MR. . FLYNN; Michael Flynn for Gerald Armstrong. : 

MS. DRAGOJEVIC: Julia Dragojevic for Gerald Armstrong. 
MR. HELLER: Lawrence Heller, and I am here in case there 

were any questions, I had a little input in the settlement.

KR. FLYEN: Pursuant to the settlement. Your Honor, the 


parties have entered into a stipulation which we will provide 
the court to have the return of all documents to the Church 
with the exception of cix documents which are currently Under 

t 

litigation in United States versus Scientology, the case that 
the government is trying to cet six exhibits on, and the order 
that we provided to the court contemplates the exemption of 
those cix. exhibits. 

We have also entered into a stipulation with 
regard to the sealing of the court records, and I believe 
Kr. Hertrberg has copies. 

MR. PE7ERSCN: I have the original cf the stipulations 
and tne order. I would present it to the clerk for filing 
and she could give it to the court. Might want to follow 
along. 

THE COURT: I have read the proposed stipulation and 
order that have been submitted. And the question arises in my 
mind, what about the — does this dismissal have anything at 
all to do with the underlying case that'is presently on 
appeal? 


KR. FLYNN: It doesn't, Your Honor. 

Certain issues in that case are going to remain 
on appeal pursuant to the stipulation of the parties. 

THE COURT: Well, won't those exhibits have to remain 
with the court? As that matter is still on appeal? 

KR. HERTZBERG: Your Honor — 

THE COURT: I don't mean the ones that are just sitting 
down in the clerk's office, but I mean the ones that have h oar

marked and received either as an exhibit for identification or 
received in evidence in the case. 

MR. HER7Z5ERG: I don't believe they all do, Your 

Honor. 

i 

I think that the court of appeal has chosen 
certain exhibits, a discrete number of them which they have 
before them and they have made that choice, so I don't think — 
certainly as Your Honor has recognized, none of the other 
documents would be affected, and I don’t know how many 
documents ve are talking about that may be before the court 
of appeal — 

THE COURT: Well, I mean, there is a problem. I don't 
know what the court of appeal is going to do. 

Let's assume they reverse it and send it back fer 
a new trial. I assume these exhibits will stijLl have to be 
used if the case is going to be retried on the underlying 
complaint. 

MR. FLYNN: Pursuant to the issues that are remaining, 

Your Honor, I think that the parties' overall stipulation is 
such that we will not need those exhibits on any retrial if, 
in fact, there is a retrial. # 

I think Mr. Armstrong is satisfied, and I know 
I am satisfied, that ve won't need them. 

MR. HERTZBERG: Your Honor, that was a decision that is I 
part of the agreement that was made, a very important part of 
it, may I add an indispensable part of it. And after 
Mr. Armstrong consulted with counsel, this is part of what ve 
bargained fcr.

So they are willing to proceed on that basis, ar.d 
I don't think that the court should get involved, frankly. 

THE COURT: Kell, I am just trying to raise an issue 
here. I don't want six months downstream or a year somebody 
to start screaming, 'Whore are these exhibits? We need to 
retr^rvthis case." 


If the court cf appeal does one thing, they 
affirm, there may be a petition for hearing with the 
California Supreme Court or with the.United States Supreme 
Court.. 


MR. HZR7Z3ERG: Your Honor, ve contemplated all that. 

That is why these negotiations vsre so arduous 
and time consuming, and we have arrived today, all those 
possibilities were discussed between our side and Mr. Flynn, 
and each side knows what they are bargaining for here. And , 
Mr. Armstrong has signed a stipulation for return of sealed 
materials and exhibits which is before Your Honor. 

The order tracks that. It has the additional 
language in it that it exempts from the scope of the return 
those documents that the federal court might be interested in, 
and that is what the agreement was between the parties. 

THE COURT: What exhibits does the court of appeal 


have? 


MR. FLYNN: I am not sure, Your Kcr.cr, but I supocse, 
having argued the appellate case, I suppose there is a simple 
answer, also, to Your Honor's question in light of the 
stipulation. The appeals court could always simply request 
whatever exhibits it wants from the appellant in that case, .

THE COURT: In Los Angeles we call ‘it appellant. 

HR. FLYNN: The appellant, whoever it is, then. 

THE COURT: That is with the French, Bostonian or 
something. •' 

MR. HERTZ3ZRG: Your Honor, I ar. informed that the court 
of appeal asked for 50 documents and they have them. So for 
the moment, presumably those could not be returned by the 
clerk of this court. 

THE COURT: Kell, it is the parties' agreement, then, 
but whatever they have got, the county clerk is no longer to 
be custodian of those and they will be returned to the parties 
by stipulation of the parties. 

MR. KZR7Z3ZAG: That is what we stipulated to in 
writing. That is an integral part of this settlement. 

>1R. PETERSON: And when the 50 documents cone back — 

TEZ COURT: If it is what the parties want to do, it is 
okay with me. 

t 

HR. PETERSON: And when the 50 documents come back from 
the court of appeal, they also will be turned over to the 
Church. 

THE COURT: I think that the court would require a 
further joint order or stipulation. 

In other words, I don't want to turn those over 
if a remititur comes down, regardless of what it is, or acme 
clerk turns them over without knowing whether or not they 
might be further needed. 

MR. HERTZ5ERG: We agree to that right now. 


MR. FLYNN: 


That vculc be agreeable.

THZ COURT: Just by stipulation of the parties, it can 
be released at that tine. 

MR. HELLER: Your Honor, for what little I can give, 
this insight was accurate. 

This was an issue that was discussed at length 
bf.tv<een the parties when negotiations were going cn. 

>i?.. FLYNN: It is apparently contemplated in 
paragraph 3 of the proposed order, Your Honor. 

THE COURT: Well, this implies that immediately when 
they are returned that they be immediately turned over to 
the Church without any further — 

MR. FLYNN*: That is agreeable. 

MR. KZRT2EZRG: That is agreeable. 

MR. FLY Nit: To Mr. Armstrong. 

KR. HZRTZBERG: This is part of this rather complex 
.process that vc have all agreed on. • 

THE COURT: What is this — under this stipulated 
sealing order paragraph 2 provides that the entire remaining 
records of this case, save only this crcer, the order of 
dismissal of the case, and then the order necessary to 
effectuate this order and.the order of dismissal, are agreed 
to be placed under seal of the court. 

What is it that you have in mind, the file 

itself? 

MR. HERT25ZRG: Yes, Your Honor. That is the procedure 
that the Church has insisted on and all courts have agreed to 
in various other Scientology cases involving Mr. Flynn and 
orhers which have been settled.

MR. FLYhH: Wt settled. Your Honor, several cases in 

the federal district court in Tampa, Florida and recently six 

cases in the federal district court in Los Angeles. 

THE COURT: I just vant to know what is contemplated so 
* 

the clerk won't be running around and — 

nN MP.. FLYJCIC : I'd s?y the entire record, I r.iir. the 


court file. 

THE COURT: There was a reporter's transcript. There 
w.s an original and copies prepared. 

Of course, those vent to the court of appeal. 
MR. FLYKK: Whatever is in the physical possession of 


the court — 


THE COURT: I guess we are talking just basically this 
multiple set of files will be placed under some kind of seal. 

MR. HERTZ-BERG: Your Honor, presumably any materials 
that come from the court of appeal would then be integrated 
under that seal. 

THE COURT: Yes. That would be so understood: 

Of course, there have been innumerable people in
